The interesting part of this for the Chiefs is in regards to long-time safety Eric Berry. Although a fan favorite in KC, he is owed $35.2 million in salary over the next three years due to injuries and health complications. Berry has only played three regular season games in the last two NFL seasons.

Mathieu is the second big name safety to come off the board after Landon Collins landed a six-year, $84 million contract with the Washington Redskins. Collins contract was the highest of all time for a safety.
